A recorded lecture by Jayapataka Swami (with brief interjections) on Sakhya-rasa (friendship mood toward Krishna), part of a series on Preya-bhakti-rasa. The speaker cites Bhakti Rasamruta Sindhu (and Srila Prabhupada translations) to define terms: Vyabichari bhavas, Stai (Sakhya) bhava, Vishramba (deep familiar confidence), and stages that progress from Sakyati→Pranaya→Prema→Sneha→Raga. He emphasizes that in Braj the friends treat Krishna as an equal (no reverence), discusses separation (viraha) as a devotional device that actually maintains constant connection, and urges continual chanting of the holy name in happiness or distress. The transcript ends with a birthday blessing and a list of devotees/donations.
Chapters
Meeting.
That's probably others.
That's iskcon global property office. And the GPOG is the oversight committee.
Prabhupada asked me to be a executor as well.
Prabhupada asked me to be an executor of his will.
So was I on the video?
That's why I'm on this meeting.
A report to the gbc so we.
Are preparing a report to the gbc. Okay? Sure. Okay. On the subject matter of Sakya Rasa, the nobles of Bhava say that all the Vyabachari Bhavas except Aurgia, Trasa and Alasya are present in Prayorasa. I think we have done this also in separation from Krishna. Mother Harsha, Garva, Nitra and Dhriti do not appear and union with Krishna Klama I.e. kalani, Vyadi, Apasmriti and Dinata I.e. dainya do not appear. Rla Prabhupada's translation of the above mentioned verse from Bhakti Rasamruta Sindhu this behavior of the friends toward Krishna is described by the thoughtful poets as Vyabichari. In Vyabichari ecstatic love for Krishna there is sometimes madness, dexterity, fear, laziness, jubilation, pride, dizziness, meditation, disease, forgetfulness and humbleness. These are some of the common symptoms in the stage of Vyabischari. Ecstatic love for Krishna. In this Rasa, the permanent ecstasy Stai Bhav is the intimate trust which is devoid of reverence. Deep familiar trust without restriction is called Vishramba confidence. This is referred to trust as a trust without reverence.
Is a Sakya Rasa.
So Stai Bhava is the Sakya Rasa.
The Tendari Rasas are mentioned here and.
The temporary Rasas are mentioned here.
Now Rabba generally said what temporary rasas are social appropriate.
Generally said what temporary Rasas are.
Each type of devotee it's situation.
So Bhakti Vinath Thakur gives us how each type of devotee each in each situation. Different translatories, Bhavas or temporary Rasas are changed.
Somewhat simplified it.
Srila Prabhupada has somewhat simplified it.
But all these, all these temples are.
So all these temporary rasas are experienced. Not only.
There is a reverence and even in the friendship.
So not in Vaikuntha Loka or Haridham where there is reverence even in friendship.
But no longer there is no reverence.
But but in Goloka and Krishna Loka where there is no reverence.
Trust without resurrection.
It's called deep familiar trust without reservation.
Raja, they don't think of Krishna as a serene person.
So in Braja they don't love Krishna. In Braja they don't think Krishna is the supreme person, they just love Krishna.
You would like to love Krishna.
How many of you would like to love Krishna? Haribo, Haribo.
Mars.
Next, another reference From Bhakti Rasamruta Sindhu 3.3.105 and 106 translation. Stai Bhava of Sakyarasa Rati, attraction based on intimate trust between two persons who are equals for the most part is called Sakyarati. This becomes Stai Bhava of Prayorasa Sakyasa. Srila Prabhupada's translation of the above mentioned verse from Bhakti Rasamruta Sindhu. When there are dealings between Krishna and his friends which are completely devoid of any feelings of respect and they. They all treat one another on on an equal level. Such ecstatic love in friendship is called Stai.
Aspect of Raja.
So that's the unique aspect of Braja.
They're just treating each other on an equal level.
They're just treating each other on an equal level.
Sometimes they say, I'll defeat you, I'll wrestle with you.
Sometimes they abuse Krishna. They'd say I'll defeat you.
You're a great might.
I'll show you my great might.
And sometimes all the dealings are very evil, very friendly.
So sometimes I mean all the dealings are very equal, very friendly. Okay. Another verse 106 from the same chapter. Deep familiar trust without restriction is called Vishramba confidence. This Vishramba or Sakyati gradually increases and becomes Pranaya, Prema, Sneha and Raga. Thus Sakya has five types of Srila. Prabhupada's translation of the above mentioned verse from Bhakti Rasamruta Sindhu. When one is situated in this confidential friendly relationship with Krishna, one shows symptoms of love such as attraction, affection, affinity and attachment. In Sakyati, Pranaya gradually develops into Prema, Sneha and ultimately Raga. Even when the qualification of Reverend Sambrahma and so on is present, if Vrati is untouched by the scent of reference, it is called Pranayams.
Krishna does an amazing thing. And the the friends of Krishna they. And they have this hint that Krishna is.
So sometimes Krishna does amazing things. And the friends of Krishna, they might have a scent. That Krishna might have some amazing power.
And that scent, that aspect of reverence doesn't Interfere with their bhakti.
If that aspect of reverence doesn't interfere with your bhakti, with their friendship, Then they could reach the next stage which is called Pranaya. Gradually develops into Premas Neha.
Love, pure love.
Prema means pure love means pure attraction. Prema Ashneha means pure affectionate affection.
Kind of more intense Raga is kind.
Of a more intense love for Krishna. Wow.
108.
108. Wow. Okay, Okay. Excuse me. When Sakyati is completely free of any touch of respect, though there are clear reasons for respect, is called Pranaya. Rla Prabhupada's translation of the above mentioned verse from Bhakti Rasamitha Sindhu. When there is full knowledge of Krishna's superiority and yet in dealings with him on friendly terms, respectfulness is completely absent. That stage is called affection. According to Krishna's manifest pastime Prakat Leela separation Viraha is described in this rasa. However, in absolute reality Vastu Tattva, the residents of Braj are never actually separated from Sri Krishna.
Interesting point.
Interesting point.
If we feel salarison, Lord Chaitanya Prabhupada.
Krishna, if you feel separation from Lord Caitanya, Srila Prabhupada or Lord actually that.
Connects us to those persons.
Actually that connects us to those persons.
So another devoid of their association.
So we are never devoid of their association.
And Lord Jaiden taught us to serve the Lord in separation.
So Lord Chaitanya taught us to serve the Lord in separation.
That means we'll be in constant connection with the Lord.
That means we would be in constant connection with the Lord.
Constant connection with the Guru.
Constant connection with the Guru.
Sometimes the Guru is present. You may be thinking all slate either eat, I'm hungry.
Sometimes when the Guru is present, it might think, oh, it's late, I'm hungry, I have to eat something. Something.
Oh, I have to talk to my wife.
Oh, I have to talk to my wife. My husband.
So but in Southern Asia the length is more constant.
But in separation the link is more constant.
Even while you're eating. Even while you're talking.
Even while you're eating. Even while you're talking.
You're always thinking about the Lord.
You're always thinking about the Lord.
Krishna left Senegal and then Khan of us and Roboli they held a war reading and rational priority.
So when Krishna left Astinapur, the Pandavas and Draupadi they had a war meeting, battle of prayer on a battle as a priority. What was on their agenda?
How.
We get Krishna's association how he can get Krishna?
He defeated all our enemies.
He defeated our enemies but now he's.
Not gone out of Hasinabar but now.
He has left us he has gone out of Astinapur so how will we see him again? How is.
What can we do? This is an emergency. This is urgent so how what we'll do?
This is emergency. This is urgent so.
They were in the southern region of Krishna with their.
Constant feelings so they were in separation with Krishna but they were in constant.
Feeling so they never actually separated Lord.
Sri Krishna so actually they weren't separated.
From Lord Sri Krishna so we a lot his brother.
So if we adopt this method we'd be never separated from Srila Prabhupada Lord Caitanya, Panchatatva Radha Madhava and the Astasakhis.
And the aim Sangas Very very important.
What I'm saying this. This is very very important.
We can be completely in touch with Krishna all the time we can be.
Completely in touch with Krishna all the time. Guy go to Madhuswari Guy go to.
Madhusware.
Guy go to Madhusware. Di. Sa.
Sam.
Ra.
Nabazi loki.
Saw this song on the line saying other than having us just trust always chant.
So the one line in this song says whether in. Whether you are in happiness or distress always chant the names of Krishna.
This is a very confidential knowledge so.
This is a very confidential knowledge and.
People are saying on the Internet.
I was seeing on Internet a special movie Revenge. Revenge.
People are all absorbed in material things.
People are all absorbed in material things.
But here it says whether in heaven or distress Hari Ram chant Holiness but.
